I view myself as an engaged anthropologist, combining academic research (mainly around the Israel/Palestine conflict and Israel's "globalizing" of Occupied Palestine through security exports) with political activism as the Head of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). I am also involved in The People Yes! Network project of creating a critical virtual venue on security.

Taking Jerusalem as a case study, I begin by defining and describing the "ritual city" that existed until the Egyptian conquest of 1831, trace the transition of Jerusalem until its emergence as a "colonial city" in World War I, and finally evaluate the impact of the colonial experience on the basic form and function of the city. I conclude by suggesting that these two broader approaches open new possibilities for urban anthropological analysis, and provide necessary background for an understanding o...

Its primary focus remains today what it was then: integrating (or in Israeli parlance, "absorbing") the new Jewish immigrants who came to Israel from Europe after the Holocaust, from Muslim countries from 1948 through the sixties, from Ethiopia and Russia more recently, and from many other places. Anthropologists have helped government agencies, schools, health services, and other public bodies understand the newcomers' cultures, aspirations, and problems, and they have been instrumental in devising modes of settlement that meet both the immigrants' and the country's needs. Ironically, little work has been done in the area of conflict resolution between Jews and Arabs (and specifically Palestinians) or in finding ways of integrating Israel's Arab population into the country's mainstream. While many I...

Deeply internalized but largely unacknowledged, it is based on the assumption of a self-contained, Jewish-only space created and maintained by what the author calls a ““cognitive membrane”” that renders ““Arabs”” entirely irrelevant if not invisible. The mechanisms that make this mindset possible——exclusivity, displacement and replacement (Judaization), and segregation——are described and analyzed. The essay ends with an account of the creation of the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions (ICAHD) as marking a transition from mere protest to engaged resistance, and reflections on the requirements of a true peace.
